Sami.
Someone in this thread mentioned that Sami lacked pace,which is wrong.If there's one thing that Sami had,it was Pace.Bowling good or bad,he never went down on pace and was always up there with Shoaib and Lee in terms of pure speed.Even today,he is seriously quick and would easily rank among the world's fastest.The movement was there every now and then,though not as regularly as one would hope.Why he has such atrocious figures is beyond me.He had the ability.Maybe it had something to with not getting proper coaching,or not having a proper bowling mentor.I don't know,but it surely isn't down to ability since he had the skill.
We're only talking about the bowling here,but i always felt Sami had the ability to become a decent batsman too.He was far from your average slogging tailender.Played very fluent cricketing shots,and had a very dependable defense.
I'm surprised he hasn't been picked in a while though btw,since his last few performances were decent.His last test match against South Africa was on a pitch made of glass with nothing in it for the bowlers.The other bowlers didn't exactly the set the world on fire that match either.But he did well in that ill-fated Sydney match just before that.Had Australia against the ropes very early.Also,his last ODI outing against Srilanka wasn't bad enough to warrant a drop either.
I won't be against Sami being given another chance btw.Gul has been average since the World Cup,Junaid Khan needs to work on his fitness,Wahab too is out of form.Sami has been performing well on the domestic circuit,so another chance won't hurt.It's not like we're bursting with in form fast bowlers at the moment.
